The Skeeter Daddle Diaries

I don’t know about you, but I was looking forward to a brand new year with partisan politics in the rearview for awhile. Sleepy Joe could run the government with eyes closed, you know, while he was taking his afternoon nap, and maybe everybody would calm down for awhile, take a breather, focus on getting past this plague. But no, one hundred and forty GOP Representatives and a dozen Republican Senators intend to refuse to ratify the electoral college votes this week. They claim the election was fraudulent, the voting booths were removed, zombies voted, the ballots were counted multiple times, aliens manipulated the results and blacks and latinx votes should be thrown out. Vice President Pence mumbled that yes, Congress should look into these irregularities, discrepancies we all know exist.

I’m apparently living in CrazyTown. The President took an hour yesterday from his intense Covid management to call the Sec. of State in Georgia to implore, to whine, to wheedle and finally to threaten him to find about 12,000 votes to put him over the top. Last time I looked, even if he won the Peach State, he comes up short. He already tried to twist the arms of the Michigan folks. He’s lost about 100 times in state and federal courts to show the least amount of irregularities, some tossing out his lawsuits with disdain and contempt. This would all be, as one justice characterized the suit brought before him, laughable … if this were a sitcom.

But it’s not a sitcom, it’s potentially a national crisis. And we already have one of those in the coronavirus plague that’s killed over a third of a million of us, much of it due to negligence on the part of this Administration, one of the many reasons Trump lost by 7 million votes. That’s a lot of Venezuelan zombies to account for. Even adding in the Lizard People who may have voted too.

CrazyTown will be a Netflix original, unless I’ve missed my guess, but the last thing I need — and you either — is a bingewatch of further outrages by this sore loser and his gutless sycophants. Threatening the Sec. of State unless he alters the election results is a federal crime. It’s impeachable if we had the time or the courage, but of course, the vocal defenders of the Constitution won’t lift a finger. Not even the second time. Is this a great country or what?
